Jackson trial day 2; Scarlett Johansson talks

  • 13 years ago
The manslaughter trial against Michael Jackson's doctor Conrad Murray continued into its second day. Kathy Jorrie, an attorney for the promoter of Michael Jackson's final concerts said that Murray asked the company for life-saving equipment just days before the pop superstar's death. She said Murray asked for a CPR machine in case one wasn't available at the concert venue at London's O2 arena.
Michael Jackson's personal assistant Michael Amir Williams also took the stand. He told the court that soon after Jackson was pronounced dead at the hospital, Murray approached him and requested a ride back to Jackson's house so he could get retrieve "some cream Michael wouldn't want the world to know about."
Murray faces up to four years in prison if convicted.
Scarlett Johansson has spoke out for the first time since leaked nude photos of her appeared on several websites. In an interview with CNN, the actress said that being a celebrity does not give others the right to invade her privacy. Most websites removed the photos hours after posting them on September 15 after getting cease and desist from Johansson lawyers.
Finally, Melissa Etheridge has received a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame - an honor she said she hopes can be an inspiration to anyone facing adversity or dreaming of a better life. The Grammy and Oscar winning singer is known for her fusion of folk-blues rock; she has released 10 studio albums over her 25-year career.
